This typeface is a delicate, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and fine, hairline terminals. Serifs are sharp and lightly bracketed to unbracketed in feel, producing crisp joins and a clean, polished edge. Capitals are tall and stately with generous spacing and smooth, round bowls (notably in C/O/Q), while the lowercase maintains a calm rhythm with a modest x-height and slender stems. Curves show vertical stress and tight, controlled apertures; the italic is not shown, and the overall stance remains formal and upright.
It suits editorial layouts, long-form book typography, and magazines where a bright, elegant page color is desired, especially at comfortable text sizes. It also performs well for upscale branding, packaging, and invitations when paired with ample white space and careful printing or rendering.
The overall tone is poised and upscale, combining a classic bookish sensibility with fashion/editorial sophistication. Its airy weight and sharp finishing details communicate refinement and restraint rather than warmth or sturdiness.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, high-contrast serif voice with a polished, contemporary finish—prioritizing elegance, page sparkle, and refined detail for premium text and display settings.
Distinctive details include a swash-like tail on the uppercase Q and fine, tapered strokes on letters like J, y, and z that add a subtle display flair. Numerals appear lining with similarly high contrast, keeping the texture consistent in mixed text.
